Green, a senior, played all 40 minutes, was 10 of 16 from the
field and hit three 3-pointers. Oddly, Green’s previous career high also came on
Dec. 22 — he scored 24 points a year ago in a win over Grambling State.

TCU led the entire second half, but the Owls (3-8) pulled within
64-63 with 13 seconds left on a layup by Julian DeBose. But TCU’s Kyan Anderson
made a free throw before Tamir Jackson, who led Rice with 25 points, missed a
3-pointer at the buzzer.
